Jazz great finds out what people really want. #DEMANDpeace with performances of Linkin Park’s NOT ALONE & Glen Campbell’s WICHITA LINEMAN https://lnkd.in/eCcGMuFg #DEMANDpeace Are YOU part of the 96% that just decided the United States presidential election as detailed at https://lnkd.in/erwTPybG ? If so, continue to do what you just did - DEMAND PEACE!!! 5 minutes of Peace https://lnkd.in/ep_xDA9q Do YOU care about the rights of indigenous people? https://lnkd.in/eWztcTRd HERE IS WHY INCUMBENT PARTY LOST: It's unfortunate, but as far as the rest of the country is concerned, it's not about how you or I feel regarding the worser of the two evils, it's the fact that 96% of the people are not happy with the people in power over this issue. When you do something like that to that many people, you create a situation where, in their eyes, the right thing and even the ONLY thing to do now is get rid of the people who already screwed you. This is also the ONLY WAY to send a message to the people coming in because 96% of the people can do a lot of damage between now and the midterms if the same behavior is repeated or even worse. FACT: More people are against genocide than were even against slavery back in the Civil War. Do you want to get up in 96% of the peoples faces and do the complete opposite of what they want and then ask them to reelect you? We told the Democrats and they didn't listen and now Bernie Sanders is livid because they ALL know it cost them the election. BREAKING!!! Bernie Sanders now LIVID because refusal to act on Jazz for Peace vote showing 96% were AGAINST GENOCIDE cost them the election. BUT WHERE WAS HE WHEN WE PERFORMED AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL? “International Jazz Day could not happen without partners like Jazz for Peace....using concerts, community outreach and education programs to raise support and awareness for local and international charities...to promote charitable and service-based activities that help make a positive difference in the world...to unify and empower the vulnerable in our society. We are indebted to you for your steadfast support, and look forward to working with you...” ~ Herbie Hancock Click here for Video of Jazz Day 2017 at Washington DC Lincoln Memorial - https://lnkd.in/e9ifU_dN
